Optimal Design of Negative Stiffness Devices for Highway Bridges Using Performance-Based Genetic Algorithm

Parameter optimization analysis on the negative stiffness device (NSD) installed in the benchmark highway bridge is carried out in this study. Key parameters and constrain conditions are determined in accordance with the characteristics of NSD, and an objective function is designed with safety and c...
